Advertising combines art and science. Artistic creativity leads to the advertisements themselves, using copywriting, illustration and photography for print ads and billboards, and scriptwriting and film direction techniques for radio and television ads. Scientific techniques are used to sample and measure the effectiveness of any given ad for any given product. Despite the sophistication of both of these disciplines, effective advertising remains elusive, and manufacturers and service providers are constantly looking for new ways to bring their advertising message to the public. What advertising managers have learned over the years is that there is no single formula which will ensure an advertisement's success. What might constitute effective advertising for one product cannot be guaranteed to do so for a

Introduction The National Broadcast Corporation (NBC) is one of the "big three" television networks in the United States. NBC, along with the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) and the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) dominated television during its formative years, and today continue to be responsible for a large share of the entertainment programming. However, recent years have seen competition emerge from a variety of quarters. Cable television has made significant inroads into the traditional networks' markets, and the Fox network, owned by media magnate Rupert Murdoch, has begun to compete with the networks in traditional markets. In addition, the networks must contend with the proliferation of video cassette recorders (VCRs) which permit potential television viewers to watch prerecorded films, or to record shows off the air a

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Computing is a diversified industry that includes sectors devoted to computer hardware, software, maintenance, and services. The computer industry is a multibillion dollar market whose products are sold globally. Despite the global characteristics of its marketplace, the vast majority of major computer industry vendors are American firms. Certain segments of the computer industry are characterized by near monopolies. These include the disk operating software and microprocessing sectors, dominated by Microsoft and Intel, respectively. Once the major force in the personal computer sector, IBM has been relegated to a fourth place position behind rivals Compaq, Apple, and Packard Bell.

The Cable Guy is a feature film that has been sold largely as a vehicle for comedian Jim Carrey, though in fact it is something quite different. The film is a dark vision of a television-fed America and the consequences massive amounts of television-watching have on individuals and the public at large. Cable is the preferred method of delivery for the television signal today, and waiting for the cable guy to show up has become an American pastime. The wiring of America for cable has preceded the new attempt at wiring America for the computer, and each successive wave of technology raises similar political issues of access, equity, potential disenfranchisement, and the possibility of a twisted American psyche. Director Ben Stiller develops these issues in terms of the plot of the film and also through background elements such as a running trial on
